Marshmallow Candycane Snowmen

 It always looks so possible and easy when things pop up on Pinterest!

 Now in fairness to the Rangers having a power cut didn't help.

(Although there is always an upside to candles and marshmallows being in the same room!)

 We got the memo about putting a hole through them first so you don't break the candy-cane.

But Ranger 1 one did not get the assembly method instructable!

 Ranger 2 was getting there but it still appeared to have a hook coming out of it's head!

I think Ranger 3 pretty much nailed it!


















You need:

White marshmallows (we had the extra large ones from Asda)
Something long and pointy to make holes through the marshmallows before you 'build' (we used chop sticks)
Candy-canes to hold them together
White icing to stick them together (we used 2 large tubes of sainsburys white icing)
Icing pens to draw the faces (we used 1 kit of sainsburys write on icing pens - multicoloured)
Strawberry laces
Smarties
Large chocolate buttons and Bassetts Allsorts for the hat (because that's what the shop had and I thought it would work - I guess it depends on the size of your marshmallows and what is on offer on the day.)
Mini matchmakers for arms (because they were on special offer!!)

If you use smaller marshmallows you will see more candy-cane, you could use Hersheys kisses for hats and mini-smarties for buttons.

Have fun!
